More Playing With Crayons - Make & Take Tag

I am still playing my Distress Crayons and learning new techniques. 

Here is one I tried just as an experiment & I loved it so much I used 
it for the make & take at our last Paradise Lost Crop.


I started with a cardstock tag covered with a layer of white gesso before 
scribbling 3 colours across the tag.


Next a quick spritz of water over the entire tag and then I took my scraper tool
to the tag.

I pulled the scraper tool across the tag to drag the colour down the tag. 
I love the rough look it made over the gesso. 

Next I ran my tag through the embossing folder. To make the embossed image pop off the tag I gently rubbed the Festive Berries Distress crayon over it then rubbed it with my finger. 


I added some Black Soot Distress Crayon to the edge, an embossed butterfly from the Sizzix Butterfly Duo die. The sentiment is a stamp from Dyan Reaveley.

  3. Those colors sure do look vibrant and wonderful. I bet your class enjoyed the process and learned some fun stuff. The purple butterfly and the black accents make everything vibe together nicely. Awesome sauce design! Hugz! ~Niki
